A release from the ministry said that during the meeting the potential for agriculture development between the two countries was discussed.

“The agricultural potential of the South Pakaraimas in Region 8 (Potaro/Siparuni) has significant potential for sub-tropical agriculture as exists in Chile and will be explored through collaboration with the Chilean Government, even as the two countries look to further strengthen the already existing relations in several areas,” Holder said in an invited comment.

Earlier this year, Chile and Guyana inked an agreement which catered for the deepening of co-operation between the two countries by promoting the exchange of experiences in the energy and mining sectors.
